  2. Chinese courts should build on the mechanism for foreign-related civil and commercial adjudication, with emphasis on the international commercial court system and the rules of ascertainment of foreign law;
  3. Chinese arbitration institutions should be in line with international commercial arbitration rules and improve the international commercial arbitration system;
  4. China should focus on coordination among departments involved in foreign-related law enforcement and justice; and
  5. Chinese law schools and continuing legal education departments should pay attention to cultivating foreign-related legal talents.
